After returning from Old Qiao's house, Chen Wang cut another piece of meat and rode his bicycle to the next village to find Old Man Lu.

From a distance, I could see Old Man Lu sitting at the door basking in the sun, peeling peanuts in his hands, looking very comfortable.

"Oh, old man, so comfortable?"

Chen Wang shouted.

Old Man Lu looked towards him and said with a smile, "Yes, the sun is shining brightly today. It's very comfortable to bask in the sun!"

"I feel relieved to see you look so rosy-cheeked. You must have had a great New Year!"

"Haha... yes, thanks to you, my son and his family just left the day before yesterday."

"That would be great."

Chen Wang parked his bicycle and walked over.

"I shot a wild boar yesterday and brought you some meat."

"Okay, thank you. I still have some fish in the tank. Pick two to take back."

"OK."

"By the way, when will the fish be sold again? I can go fishing early."

Old Man Lu asked with a smile.

He had a comfortable New Year and spent all his money.

But he is happy about it. As long as his younger generations can come back every year to spend the New Year with him, he is willing to spend any amount of money.

"You can go fishing today. Da Zhuang and I will go hunting in the mountains for two days, and then we will go to town."

"Okay, I'll go there later."

"Sure, I'll put the meat in the house for you!"

"Okay, just put it on the table."

Old Man Lu smiled and nodded.

Chen Wang went into the house, put the meat on the table, and walked to the water tank to take a look.

There were still seven or eight fish in it. Chen Wang didn't hesitate and used a ladle to get out two crucian carps, then found a hemp rope to string them together.

"Okay, old man, I'm going back!"

Chen Wang walked out of the house carrying the fish and said goodbye to Old Man Lu.

"Go ahead, I want to go fishing too."

Old Man Lu stood up and stretched comfortably.

“Come on, catch more fish!”

Chen Wang smiled and said something encouraging, then got on his bike and turned around and left.

"Awang, come and fish with me at the river when you have time."

Old Man Lu shouted at his back.

"no problem."

Chen Wang responded loudly without even turning his head.

When I got home, I found a basin, filled a water tank with water, put the two crucian carps in, and asked my wife to stew some soup in the evening.

Without waiting until tomorrow, Lao Qiao came over in the afternoon and told Chen Wang that he chose the second option.

“Why not choose contracting?”

Chen Wang asked curiously.

The first option would definitely be more profitable for Old Joe. He originally thought that Old Joe would choose to contract his family's land.

Old Qiao looked embarrassed and replied, "I can't help it. I have a bad son at home and I don't have enough money to contract your land."

"Qiao Zhijie? What did he do?"

Chen Wang looked stunned.

"I lost a lot of money playing cards with him. His mother and I had discussed it and were going to choose the first option, but I found out that he had taken half of the money I hid at home."

Old Joe said with a sullen face.

"Forehead……"

Chen Wang was speechless for a moment.

"Damn the beast, I didn't go easy on him before. When he comes back at night, I will punish him severely."

Old Joe gritted his teeth.

"It's time to teach them a lesson. You can't tolerate people who steal money. Luckily you found out early, otherwise the remaining half would have been gone."

Chen Wang seized the opportunity to fan the flames.

Old Joe nodded in agreement.

"I think he has never experienced hardship. You can take him to work in the fields. You can help him plant our crops and let him plant yours. You have to let him learn how to work and know how hard it is to earn money. Only then will he change."

Chen Wang helped come up with an idea.

Old Qiao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Awang, your idea is good. Okay, okay, let's do it."

"That's it, then. Tell me when you start working, and I'll pay you every three days!"

"Okay, Awang, thank you!"

"What's the big deal? I have to thank you for your help!"

Chen Wang smiled and said.

"No, no, with your conditions, there are many villagers willing to help."

"Then there aren't many people I know well, so I'd rather trust you."

"Don't worry, since I've accepted this job, I will definitely do it well for you, and the harvest will definitely not be worse than mine."

Old Joe promised solemnly.

"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come to you."

Chen Wang smiled and nodded.

After chatting for a few more words, Old Joe said goodbye and left.

Lin Xiuqin came in with a washed and cut apple, handed him half, and looked at him with some resentment in her eyes.

"Oh, well, your belly is getting bigger and bigger. How can you go out to work? How can I be at ease?"

Chen Wang took half the apple, smiled and touched her belly.

Lin Xiuqin's pretty face flushed slightly and she pulled his hand away.

“Crack!”

Chen Wang took a big bite of the apple and said vaguely: "Your only task now is to take good care of your body so that our baby can be born healthy."

Lin Xiuqin looked down at her slightly bulging belly, with a gentle smile between her brows.

"Come here, sit here and let me hold you."

Chen Wang smiled and patted his legs.

Lin Xiuqin blushed and shook her head.

"Come on, the little girl is not here again."

Chen Wang waved with a smile.

"If you don't come over, I'll go over and hug you."
